Daily walking :)

Hiya all

How often or how many minutes of walking a day do you give your doggy's??

Lola is 1 and she gets a walk at 8-8.30am and 9.30-10pm.

She also gets a long walk in ther afternoon/evening anytime between 2-6 for about an hour....

is this enough, too much or too little

Thanks

Generally peolpe say 2 x 45 mins a day is the minimum. Moo needs a lot longer. She has half hour before I go to work then the dog walker or mum does 2 good 1.5 - 2 hours walks at about 11 and 3 and I walk her again for another half hour in the evening. On my days off like today we went out at 11.30 and got home at 4.30 but she is used to it, and with the evenings drawing in its getting a little harder Xx

2 walks for 45 minutes is the minimum. Sounds like Lola is getting enough exercise and at her age you aren't over exercising her.

just a few 15 minute walks at the moments 2 or 3 times a day.

Well right now 0 a day since a hurt my back and I can't walk too well. so I exercise Nemo in the garden by playing fetch.

Dempsey gets an hour or so in the morning, another hour or so mid-late afternoon & then a shorter, half hour walk just before I go to bed.

mine get 2 hours in morning while everyones at school and playgroup then half hour with kids after school and half hour in evening

Wow! I thought I was doing ok with 1.5 hours morning and again in the afternoon. We go to the park to run wild and play most afternoons after the walk. I walk at a fast pace around 9 minutes per kilometer and frankly am pooped.

We go out at 6 am for an hour every weekday morning and then another hour at around 7 in the night. At the weekends though, we go to a park where he meets all his "mates" and has a proper run around with them for well over an hour, by the time we come home his absolutely pooped
